As an aside, I went to the Art Gallery of Ontario not too long ago with a friend. I thoroughly enjoyed exploring the "Drama and Desire" exhibit. Everyday I try to do an activity that doesn't distractions or involve messages and/or advertisements being thrown at me. These activities allow me to think, reflect. For once I am not bombarded by the thoughts/ideas of others. Examples of activities that may help you to just think may include going to art galleries (on special occasions), cooking/baking, writing in a journal, yoga, sodoku or crossword puzzles, cleaning (for some!), gardening, walking, meditating, hiking, running, painting, and drinking or eating without anything in front of you but a mug or plate of good food.
We never thought of it that way but you are absolutely right....there is no persuasion or advertising or pushing. Your brain does all the work!
ReplyDeleteNo wonder these things you mention are so relaxing - your rejeuvenating :)
